Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Notices
Currently, ETA seeks a regular 3 year
extension of the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval for
collecting site visit data from
organizations that received grants under
four Solicitations for Grant Applications
(SGAs) that were issued under the
ARRA Initiative: Pathways Out of
Poverty (POP), Energy Training
Partnership (ETP), State Energy Sector
Partnership (SESP), and Health Care and
Other High Growth and Emerging
Industries Training grant initiative.
POP, ETP and SESP are all Green Jobs
training programs. The overall aim of
these evaluations is to determine the
extent to which enrollees achieve
increases in employment, earnings, and
career advancement as a result of their
participation in the training provided
and to identify promising best practices
and strategies for replication. It is
necessary to collect data from the grant
sites included in both studies while
they are still in operation. Failure to
collect site visit data will affect our
ability to conduct rigorous evaluations
of these grants. For example, site visits
are the only way the research team can
observe the training programs in
operation and collect real time data that
amplifies the findings through other
documentation. Lack of a rigorous
evaluation process will mean that no
information will be available on the
potential of training for green jobs as a
strategy for reducing poverty or
increasing employment. Conducting
these evaluations rigorously requires
appropriate operational data collection.
This information collection follows an
emergency review that was conducted
in accordance with PRA and 5 CFR
1320.13. The submission for OMB
emergency review was approved on
January 19, 2012.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
June 19, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The proposed information collection
is for evaluations of the Green Jobs and
Health Care training grants. This
evaluation is sponsored by ETA to
understand the processes surrounding
the design and implementation of four
specific grant programs.
In February 2009, President Obama
signed the ARRA into law in an effort
to preserve and create jobs, promote
economic growth, and assist those
impacted by the recession. The ARRA
included funding for four SGAs with the
goal of training workers in the skills
required to be employed in specific
high-growth and emerging industries
including health care, energy efficiency,
and renewable energy. The four SGAs
are:
• Energy Training Partnership ($100
million allocated across 25 projects)
• Pathways Out of Poverty ($150
million for 38 projects)
• State Energy Sector Partnership and
Training ($190 million for 34 projects)
• Health Care and Other High Growth
Emerging Industries ($225 million for 55
projects).
II. Review Focus
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
